‘No Kitty Parties, No Films, Just My Kids’: Zerodha Founders’ Mom Wins Hearts with Emotional Tribute to Motherhood
Revathi Kamath, mother of Zerodha co-founders Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, has struck an emotional chord online with a deeply personal Facebook post that’s winning hearts across the country. Far from the glitz of billionaire success stories, her message offers something far more powerful—an intimate glimpse into the quiet sacrifices and unwavering devotion of a mother.
A trained veena artist and passionate homemaker, Revathi wrote, “I never went to kitty parties or movies. I chose to spend all that time with my children. Sweet memories of my life with Nithin and Nikhil… that part is just mine.” Her words, raw and real, resonated with parents everywhere, celebrating the quieter side of success—one built not in boardrooms, but in bedrooms filled with lullabies and kitchens filled with home-cooked meals.
She accompanied her post with a touching video of herself singing the classic lullaby “Chanda Hai Tu, Mera Suraj Hai Tu”—a tune she once sang to her sons as they drifted to sleep. The video has since gone viral, drawing a wave of admiration from viewers touched by its simplicity and soul.
But it wasn’t just the lullaby that moved people. Revathi also shared the values that shaped her parenting. “Never ever used to order outside food,” she wrote. “Not a single day I missed making fresh food, fresh juice, and fruits.” Her dedication to nurturing—through music, food, and time—formed the foundation of a home where both love and discipline thrived.
The legacy of her love doesn’t stop with her sons. Revathi recently posted a proud video of her grandson performing on the mridangam at a cultural event, underscoring the family’s continuing ties to classical arts and culture.
Beyond motherhood, Revathi’s own story is equally remarkable. From starting a small floral venture with just ₹5,000 to founding her own company, Calyx, and leading a 28-acre environmental restoration project, she embodies quiet entrepreneurship and personal reinvention. She’s currently penning her autobiography, where she plans to share not just the story of raising two future billionaires, but her own journey as a woman of grit, growth, and grace.
The book promises to be more than a memoir—it’s a tribute to the unseen labor of mothers, the nurturing that often happens in silence, and the strength it takes to put family above all else.
As one online comment poignantly put it: “Behind every successful child is a mother who chose love over everything else.”
